Pistachio financiers are so deliriously good and delightfully rich that they make a great recipe for the holiday season. Heftier and more indulgent than a simple almond tea cake, it's a good thing they\u2019re just bite-sized snacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pistachio<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The first time I thought about baking classic French financiers, I had more questions than the cake tins in my pantry. What are financier cakes? Do I need a financier pan to make French financiers? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, when I did make them, I included all the answers in my first French financier cake <\/a>recipe post. While those came out picture-perfect, these classic pistachio financiers are more rustic.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But don\u2019t let the unassuming look of these tiny almond cakes hoodwink you. They are no less delicious, with crisp edges, and a moist interior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My husband and son had no idea what they were eating but that floral taste of saffron, the mild sweetness of pistachio, and that nutty aroma was instantly familiar. With each bite, I could see their sense of comfort and the feeling that festivities were around the corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make pistachio financiers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The base of these pistachio financiers is almond flour, but the essence of pistachio still shines through. Think of them as almond French cakes, rich and tender from the brown butter and full of nutty nuances from the pistachios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ingredients<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Start by browning the butter in a saucepan on low heat. Keep cooking till it's deep brown, smells wonderful like hazelnut, and the milk solids have separated from the fat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Add threads of saffron, a hefty dose, to the brown butter and then take it off the heat. Unlike a typical French financier recipe, I did not strain the butter. The tiny brown bits add so much nutty deliciousness to these pistachio saffron financiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: <\/strong>Sift together flour, icing sugar, and almond flour, and then whisk in egg whites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4:<\/strong> After the egg whites, stir in the saffron-infused brown butter, which should have cooled by now, in increments till you have a soft, dropping consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Whisk<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 4:<\/strong> Finally, fold in 2 to 3 tablespoons of pistachios and a few saffron strands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5: <\/strong>Cover the batter and refrigerate for an hour. While it rests, grease your financier pan or the regular mold you use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 6: <\/strong>I chose to spoon the batter into each cavity. But if you\u2019re looking for a smoother top, use a piping bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ready<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 7: <\/strong>Sprinkle more chopped pistachios on top of the almond French cakes and bake for 16 to 18 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final step: <\/strong>Let them cool and then serve as-is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
